    Man how I wish I could put a serious tower up here.
    Looks great!

    How much concrete do you expect to use in the tower base?

    Thanks guys,
    The base requires 1 yard,and the anchors 2 yards each.

    Good deal!

    Our plans are to do what you folks did - 6-10 acres in the country. Honestly, I wouldn't dismiss buying a hilltop and adjoining valley then putting all of my antennas atop the hill.

    Leave a hose trickle on the pour all the next day. The hardest strongest concrete is concrete poured under water. The outside don't cure faster than the inside is what i'm saying. 3000 to 4000 pound #1 stone footing mix is the best. You'll have fun with that set-up..

    Mercy ... that ought to survive a F2, maybe F3 twister!

    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
